While we're talking about sound under OS-X...is sound input ported 
yet?  I'm still considering/dreading the jump to OS-X (image: Mark on 
top of the high diving board.  "Yep, I'll be jumpin' anytime now. 
Anytime now..."), but I was further dissuaded when I heard that sound 
in is broken in Squeak under OS-X.   I use sound-in with 
AudioExplorer alot. Any time frame for this?

Thanks!
